Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has paid tribute to one supporter's designed badge on social media - and broken his silence on the club's embarrassment over the new badge design announcement.

The decision to change crests led to a huge backlash from fans and an official petition with over 70,000 signatures, prompting managing director Angus Kinnear to concede the club would have to revise their plans.

An extension to the consultation process with fans will start in the coming days and Leeds are set to release details on how fans are able to contribute to the design of the club's new logo.

There has been scepticism over Leeds' claims they liaised with over 10,000 people given the number of fans who reacted so badly once it was revealed and the club's backtracking is likely to lead to a new design.

Fans have been taking to Twitter to design their own badges to send to the club and when one was sent to Radrizzani, the owner tweeted for the first time since the official release, barring a retweet of the club's promotional video to accompany the design.

"Thank you all, lot of creativity and graft among our fans #alaw," he wrote on Twitter.
